Michael J. Martin passed away peacefully on November 5, 2026 at the age of 62. He was the beloved father of Brian Martin and his wife Christina of Watertown and Jessica Martin of Marshfield. He was the cherished Grandpa to Mia. Son of the late Richard and Charlotte Martin, Michael was the dear brother of Richard Martin and his wife Carol, Wayne Martin, Stephen Martin and his wife Maureen, Roger Martin and his wife Kathy. Michael also leaves his former spouse, Mary Jane Martin. He also leaves many cherished cousins, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by siblings Cheryl, Gary, Donald, and Shirley.
Michael was an avid musician, a skilled mechanic, respected truck driver and a family man. Nothing made him prouder than his children whom he bragged about often, and he was even prouder to show off his beautiful granddaughter. You could often find him behind a drum set or planning the next family get-together. He would do anything for the people he loved the most. Although he is gone far too soon, we are left with countless memories which we will hold close to our hearts forever.
Visiting hours will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the MacDonald Funeral Home, 1755 Ocean Street in Marshfield, followed by a Graveside Service and interment in the Couch Cemetery, Union Street in Marshfield.
